According to Wired magazine, the definition of a pony car is "relatively small, relatively light and often absurdly powerful." Relative is the keyword here, and it is used in comparison to other vehicles available at the time. In which case, none of the current 3 pony cars are overweight by this definition.
i would say they are very much overweight. I bet that weight scale includes trucks.

take an average sized 4 door car like an accord and see that it weighs 3550lbs (32xx for 4cyl.) and now compare it to a 3900lbs camaro and you can see that the current pony cars are pretty damned chubby.
